GUT-Biome Supplement
The project aims to develop an edible supplement that replaces the inner foam part of the Cargo Transfer Bag (CTB) used in space missions. This supplement is specifically designed to support the gut-biome axis, which plays a crucial role in the overall health of astronauts.
Key Points:
The inner foam of the CTB will be transformed into an edible portion.
The primary goal is to enhance the gut biome, which is linked to mental health and immune function.
Numerous studies indicate that a healthy gut biome can positively influence both psychological well-being and immune responses, making this supplement vital for astronaut health during missions.
This initiative reflects a commitment to integrating nutrition and health science into space exploration.
